What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death case is designed to compensate surviving family members for the losses you have experienced because of your loved one’s death. Damages commonly awarded in these cases include:

Loss of your loved one’s financial contributions

Loss of your loved one’s benefits and retirement potential in the future

Loss of companionship

Loss of guidance

Medical and funeral expenses

For a death to be legally wrongful means it was preventable and resulted from someone else’s negligent behavior or intentional behavior. Car accidents, construction accidents and accidents at unsafe premises are just a few of the sources of wrongful death claims. Motorists, employers, doctors and property owners are some of the types of people who have been sued for causing wrongful death.

Like other personal injury cases, wrongful death claims must be filed within a certain time limit following the death. This time limitation is spelled out within the New Jersey statute of limitations. Our knowledgeable attorneys can determine whether your case still qualifies.

Proving Wrongful Death

Each case is unique, but typically the following parties may be eligible for wrongful death compensation based on their relationship to the deceased:

Spouse

Dependents

Children and grandchildren

Surviving parents

Siblings

Generally, the spouse and children are considered a priority when compensation is awarded. If there aren’t any children or a spouse, then compensation may be distributed to the other types of family members.
